I'm always interested in hearing about the USMS demographics, but I couldn't find any information on USMS and college swimming. I was wondering roughly what percentage of US Masters swimmers swam in college and at what level. I also wanted to hear from you where you went, when, and what you loved / hated most about college swimming.

still heartbreakingly missed the OT cuts by less than a second in each of the 400 free and 400 IM
Happened to me TWICE ('88 & '92)
I qualified for '88 in the 1500, but it was at a meet ('88 American Final) beyond the cutoff date to go to Trials.
In '92 I missed the cut in the 400 free by .08 I think it was in Prelims at SEC's. Then in the final didn't swim my race and went a second slower. That was my Junior year.
My Senior year I was so burnt out, had NO distance guys to train with and was just over swimming.......until 15 years later! :D
